Thoughts and Themes
CYCLICAL CAUSES OF WAR
MYTHOLOGY TO REALITY AND AROUND AGAIN?
Chris Hedges suggests a cycle in human behaviour in relation to war – namely, the development or rediscovery of “mythology”, followed by the harsh “reality” of war, followed by collective amnesia, and more mythology etc. Mythology of War Reality of War We are good/they are evil There is evil and good on all sides We are conquering evil We are committing organised murder of innocents We are helping the local freedom fighters
We are arming local gangsters and drug lords Our young men are glorious warriors Our young men are confused, corrupted, expendable and maimed pawns The media reports the “truth”. The media profits magnificently from the advent of war and then makes less from emerging mutual atrocity The country is unified against outside evil Evil lies within also Dissenters are unpatriotic and must be silenced The dissenters are an embarrassment. They remind us of our failures. Smell, music, sights and sounds of war are glorious The stench and horror of organised industrial murder Lies are a necessary strategy Lies are lies; we have been conned again. We sacrifice together Only some sacrifice; others are safe and make fortunes We will start and finish the war when we want and when we “win” Starting is easy; but we cannot get out Human rights and respect can be suspended in an emergency Once suspended, escalated mutual atrocity is morally OK We want to make things better We seem to have made things worse We are momentarily violent for good Constant hate of other races and tribes gives us meaning and unity...
